    Diabetes or no diabetes, this is a high blood pressure reading. Seek medical advice.

    That second reading is most troublesome. Medicine will get it down in few hours. Get to the doctor.

    That's too high. And we're more concerned about the bottom # than the top  # .  It should range between   140/ 80   or   140 / 70 is ok too.   Bottom number should NOT be over 90. Top number should not be over  140; and should never be over  150.  Tell her to take up walking and quit smoking ( if she smokes ) and even quit drinking coffee, except maybe one cup a day. She must lose weight, b/c  fat puts pressure on the arteries, which drives up B/ P  .
